SUMO TRAINING
In sumo, discipline and athleticism are much more important than sheer size! Elite sumo wrestlers are some of the most fit athletes you will find, anywhere. Most top sumo wrestlers train for hours, almost every day, year-round. Here’s an overview of sumo training.
KEY GOALS
FLEXIBILITY
The best sumo wrestlers are limber, enabling them to adapt to opponents’ movements. Suppleness also protects from injuries.
BALANCE
The essence of sumo competition is maintaining balance, and shifting weight, while under pressure.
STRENGTH
A key focus is to build up tremendous pushing/thrusting strength, which comes from developing complete musculature, throughout the body.
SPEED
The faster you are off the line, the greater your chances of winning. Reaction speed is critical!
STAMINA
Although a single match is short, massive energy is exerted in just a few seconds, so hours of daily training build up endurance, to prepare for competition.
STANCE
Sumo emphasizes a low center of gravity, so all wrestlers work at powerful movements, while knees are bent, and upper body tucked in.
